Same Patch The Next Day

"Pretty much the same setup as the last video, minus the FS1R and plus some sequencer related modules. This time I sequenced the poly modular and used a second keyboard to transpose the sequence while playing the Mellotron brass from the main keyboard. I almost didn't post this and may delete it but I'll leave it up for now.

Early Saturday Eurorack Modular And Mellotron

video upload by John L Rice

"Mainly the modules in the lid of my eurorack modular briefcase: Vermona meloDicer sequencing a mostly Erica Synths voice (VCO, EG, VCA, and LFO) with Synth Tech VCF and then passed through a Mutable Clouds. Also Mellotron Micro through a Strymon Magneto. Recorded on and uploaded from an iPad.

Thanks for watching! 😎"

Mellotron Sounds - The Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin

video upload by RetroSound

For lovers of the melancholic Mellotron sounds it is the song at all.
The Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin from the year 1967.
One of my parents favorite songs.
Of course I don't have a huge, old Mellotron from the 60s. I use my Roland M-VS1 'Vintage Synth' module for this, which has wonderful Mellotron samples. In the song I use the sounds: MelloFlute, MelloStrings (3Violins) and two parts of the MelloChoir. The module is controlled by my Oberheim OB-Xk master keyboard controller via MIDI. The other sounds (drums, bass, guitar) come from the E-MU Emax sampling synthesizer

Quick sound examples of the synth and Mellotron setup

video upload by Benjamin Dehli

"A quick demo of each keyboard instrument connected to the Roland PA-120 mixer.
The audio is recorded directly from the line out of the mixer.
The reverb comes from the in-built spring reverb in the mixer and the echo/delay comes from the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo connected to the effects loop / echo ins and outs of the mixer.
Sorry for the terrible camera work.

Mellotron Beer Review Hop Butcher For The World

video upload by Rat’s Beer Review

This one was spotted and sent my way via John L Rice who had the following to say about it:

"It’s a video from a guy who does reviews of beer. The one he reviewed happens to be called “Mellotron” but the image art on the can seems to be a caricature of Keith Emerson’s Moog modular from the mid 70‘s?! 😄 It really cool art and I wouldn’t mind having a t-shirt or poster of that! I looked around and the beer only seems available in South Carolina?"

Sign me up for a T as well.

Mellotron M4000D - Card 05

video upload by John L Rice

"These are the sounds available on the Mellotron M4000D expansion card number 5, which will work in the original full sized M4000D, the Mini M4000D, and the M4000D Rack. (expansion cards are not compatible with the Mellotron Micro). I made this video so people that are interested in purchasing the card can get a general idea of what's on it.

INDEX:
0:00 Introduction
0:44 Strings
6:05 Vocals
7:25 Acoustic And Synthesized Winds
18:05 Synth Sounds
22:15 Organs
27:19 Pianos
28:27 Marimba
28:47 Mandolin
29:10 Synth Bass
29:30 Acoustic Bass
29:55 Accordions
30:27 Accompaniments
34:51 Drum Parts
36:25 More Accompaniments
46:46 End

The Mellotron company has a SoundCloud account and they have a lot of nice examples of the sounds on their available expansion cards, check it out! https://soundcloud.com/mellotronfactory

On this card there are individual sounds that can be played 'normally' (solos and chords as on a piano or organ etc) and many are looped so they will play indefinitely instead of the normal 7 to 9 second maximum limit that the original Chamberlins and Mellotrons are known for. There are also sounds that are to be played one key at a time as they are accompaniments like chords, drum parts, or an entire band."

ANTOINE BARIL'S ONE MAN ELP: Backstage Pass @ EMEAPP

video upload by EMEAPP

"After over two years in the making, we are proud to be a part of the One Man ELP project; the brainchild of the amazingly talented Antoine Baril of Québec, Canada. As with his previous "One Man" videos that he has released over the last 7 years (Rush, Genesis, Yes), his attention to detail and accuracy is second to none and it was amazing to watch him at work within our walls for an intense week of keyboard craziness in July 2022. Along with his amazing videographer Paul DiGiacomo, they captured some stunning footage and audio to make this epic video project one for the ages. It was a blast to play a supporting role in this, we gave full access of our Keith Emerson keyboard rig (as well as our extensive collection of vintage analog synths) to Antoine and it was like turning a kid loose in a candy store, a cornucopia of awesomeness! Join us for an exclusive backstage peek at some of the recording processes and video shoots during this one week period. The ELP material he performed and recorded runs Then EMEAPP's executive director Drew Raison will take you on an up close and personal tour of all the keyboards and synthesizers that were used in this project.

Complete list below:

Yamaha GX1 (6:55)
Keith Emerson’s Hammond/Goff C3 w/dual Leslie 122s (7:13)
Keith Emerson’s Split Moog Minimoog Model D (7:51)
Keith Emerson's Hammond L100 (8:09)
Moog Minimoog Model D Pair (Bernie Worrell's Minimoog on right) (8:45)

Mellotron M400 (9:39)
Oberheim Eight Voice (9:58)
Oberheim OB-X/OB-Xa (10:20)
ARP Quadra (10:55)
KORG PS-3300 (11:06)
Moog Taurus I (11:22)

Tongue Pans And Strings

video upload by John L Rice

"I should have spent more time on the performances and mixing but I wanted to just get an OK recording of this idea before I move on to other backlogged projects.

The violin is from a Roland Integra7, the cello and bass are from a Mellotron M4000D. (cello is an internal Chamberlin sound and the bass is a Gino Vannelli sound on expansion card 03)
